Latest Photos of 13-Year-Old Alice Teplyakova Stir Up Online Worries
A Prodigy’s Journey: Alice Teplyakova
The Teplyakov family has been a hot topic in Russia for nearly five years. In 2021, their eldest daughter, Alice, made national headlines when she enrolled at Moscow State University (MSU) at just 9 years old, becoming the youngest student in the university’s history. This news sparked both admiration and skepticism about the benefits of such early academic pursuits.
Life After MSU
Since then, interest in Alice Teplyakova’s life and appearance has not faded. Her enrollment at MSU was both a triumph and the start of a controversial period for the family. Alice scored enough points on the Unified State Exam to be admitted to the paid department, with her parents dreaming of her obtaining a psychologist’s diploma from one of the country’s most prestigious universities. Despite her age, she was allowed to study, but her time at MSU was short-lived due to a scandal that ended in a fight, investigations, and her transfer to another university. Evgeny Teplyakov, her father, continues to seek an official order for her expulsion from MSU, believing the story has not been fully resolved.
Current Studies
Today, Alice continues her studies and, according to her father, does so with pleasure. She is mastering several educational programs simultaneously, but the family has not disclosed where exactly she is studying. Evgeny likely avoids publicity to prevent a repeat of the situation that arose around MSU, which led to unprecedented pressure on the child.
New Photos Spark Concern
Recently, new photos of Alice appeared online, taken during an online video conference. The young student sits in front of the camera without makeup, in a simple gray T-shirt, with her hair down. Alice looks noticeably older than when she entered the university, with more defined facial features and a calm, focused gaze. The image portrays a modest, studious teenage girl, not a media personality surrounded by controversy.
However, the internet reacted with concern to her appearance:
- “It’s clear that this is not healthy. Dark circles under the eyes, pale skin!”
- “Poor child. Every time I see news about this family, my heart aches for the children.”
- “At 13-14 years old, she will finish her studies, and then what?”
- “What is the father trying to achieve? I’m scared for the children.”
Diploma Pre-Defense
According to insiders, this screenshot was not taken by accident. The 13-year-old Alice is preparing for her diploma pre-defense. It is unknown who exactly from her classmates shared the frame.
The pre-defense itself, according to sources, took place in the best traditions of family pedagogy. Evgeny did not leave his daughter alone with the commission and actively participated in the process. His prompts and comments were clearly heard by all participants in the video conference.
Educational Methods and Controversies
Evgeny Teplyakov does not doubt his daughter’s success and is ready to announce Alice’s achievements and the effectiveness of his teaching methods. He starts working with his children almost immediately after they learn the letters. By the age of three, his children read syllables confidently, count to 100, and add within ten. The ability to work with large volumes of text allows them to complete the school program in full as external students. The father devotes at least five hours a day to studying and emphasizes that his children are ordinary, with the key role played by the approach, not innate genius.
Despite this, disputes on the internet do not subside. Many users believe that with such a regime, children are deprived of a normal childhood—games, carelessness, and spontaneity. Teplyakov responds harshly to these accusations, stating that his children live the same way as their peers: they walk, play in the playgrounds, do sports, and are not exclusively focused on studying. As proof, he regularly publishes videos with his eldest daughter, showing her swimming and doing kickboxing.
